Default Quilts of Valor for brothers

My sisters and I had a little quilt retreat at my house this month. We made 2 Quilt of Valor quilt tops for our brothers. Their time in the service (Air Force and Navy) was in the 1960's and I don't know if anyone has ever told them how much we appreciate their service. So, we took a week out of this summer and created these quilts for them, I quilted the one with the red and white stripes and another will be quilting the other one. I am so proud of this collaborative effort! Labels are made but not pressed and attached yet!
